Grand Bohemian Charleston, Autograph Collection

My family of 4 (kids 7 and 10) really enjoyed our stay here. Check-in was quick and efficient and the complimentary glass of champagne was a appreciated touch. We had a 2 queen room and it was a great size for 4 of us. Beds were comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was top notch. All of the staff members we interacted with were very friendly and made us feel welcome. ||Despite how good the hotel was though, the location was the best part. Most things were within walking distance and the hotel is surrounded by great food, historical sites, and good shopping. The only thing that was a bit far was the South Carolina Aquarium, but if it wasn't so hot we would've walked that as well. ||Overall, we will definitely stay here the next time we're in Charleston

I’m going to start this review with the fact that I work for a luxury boutique hotel and I do not see service like this every day. ||I arrived at the hotel with my friends on Sunday afternoon (around 1pm) and was immediately greeted by the wonderful valet (I regret not getting their names, because every single valet man was fantastic. We specifically love the blonde young man with curly hair who is going to Colorado this week, HAVE FUN)! ||After handing over the keys, we walked in and were greeted by Mikayla, the wonderful front desk agent, who informed us the room was not ready yet. That was no problem at all, they kindly held our luggage, gave us a glass of champagne, and kindly recommended fun activities to do in the meantime. In comes Eric, the property’s Sommelier; he greeted us warmly while setting up for their in-house wine class. He told us he had some spots open and would love for us to join him, which we decided to do. In the meantime, we headed up to Eleve (the property’s rooftop bar and restaurant) for a French 75 to commemorate our first time in Charleston. Our server, G, was so darling. He took our order quickly and had us out in time for the 2 pm wine class. Downstairs at a long, family style table, Eric explained to us the difference between 4 red wines and guided us in creating our own custom blend, which he then bottled and labeled with our chosen picture that we emailed to him ahead of time. So worth the money and a great bonding experience with friends. Eric was an absolute pro; knowledgeable, funny, personable, and patient. I’d also love to note that our room was ready halfway through the class and we received a text from Mikayla who had the keys waiting for us and our luggage brought to the room! ||After a long day of exploring, we ended back up at Eleve, where we had another delicious cocktail and chocolate cake. Our server, Ava, was a doll. She was quick, kind, and very personable (a theme between all the staff). Best way to end our night! ||Day 2, we had a fantastic breakfast in Maison Cafe (their breakfast restaurant) and had the perfect start to another day of exploring. Later that night we ended back up in Eleve (what a shock) and had the pleasure of meeting Nina (“Cash”), their fantastic food and beverage manager, who checked on us personally multiple times. She had nothing to worry about though, because we were in the hands of the incomparable Allen. He was our bubbly, sweet server for the night. He greeted us with the warmest smile and explained the menu and Happy Hour thoroughly. We were thrilled to see Ava and G again, lovely as ever. The Kessler Marg, fried calamari, and oysters were the perfect night cap. ||I know this review is long enough as is, but I just want to sincerely thank everyone for the phenomenal service from start to finish. I loved our short trip to Charleston, even though i’ve never sweat so much in my life, I will definitely be back.

Just all the extra touches made it so nice. Great location, champage, chips, and lemonade and cookies complimentary each day. Ahmed was our server for breakfast every day and he was amazing. We ran out of time, but the dinner menu looked fantastic. Love the text messages we received throughout the day. We will return

It’s a good hotel with beautiful, engaging art hanging everywhere, but I wasn’t overly impressed with the service, amenities, or food for the price. I came here for a business meeting, so we also utilized the meeting rooms and hotel dining during our stay. I wouldn’t stay here again, but it’s a fine hotel — I just expect more for over $700 per night. What went well: My room was quite spacious, with a lovely seating area overlooking the hotel's patio and street. The king bed and bedding were comfortable. The bathroom had good lighting and provided shampoo and conditioner, which seemed good quality. One evening, we had drinks at the bar, and the bartenders and cooks were incredibly accommodating, allowing some of our group to order late-night food and deliver it straight to the room. What could be improved: My grievances are small. However, at this price point, I expect things like a free water bottle in the room (which appeared the second night but wasn’t there the first night), a minibar in the room with some nonalcoholic drinks, and snacks available for purchase, cleanliness in the conference room (there were some pretzels and some discarded food on the floor under the table), and doors to be opened especially when we are walking in with all of our luggage with multiple valets attendants standing near the door. Also, during our meetings, the same basic food, steak and a white fish with breading, and the exact same sides, green beans and potatoes, were served at lunch and dinner. The potatoes were also served at breakfast. When lunch came around on day two, we opted to eat elsewhere.

Our family had a great time this weekend. All staff did a great job. Braze from valet was particularly helpful and engaging from greeting us to helping us with luggage to providing guidance around Charleston.

I’ve never written a review but this stay was so wonderful, we had to! We arrived and were treated amazingly! Valet offered us water and gave us a positive first impression. We have to mention shea who helped us with the car and matt with our bags! They both took great care of us.The room exceeded our expectations! Fortunately for me and mike our room was looking into the guest only gallery: such beautiful and interesting pieces there!|Thank you!

Very nice hotel in the rooms were nicely appointed. The staff, including the valet guys, were nice! Really, my only complaint is the outrageous 53.00 per night to Valley your car. $ 25-30 seems fair considering how expensive the rooms are. I find that Marriotts in most major cities are gouging with the valet price just like the airlines do with the baggage fees. It's a fantastic location, so if you can stomach the high valet fees, you'll have a good time.

This hotel is in a great location. The rooms are big for a boutique hotel. Common areas are very nice. The rooftop has good drinks. The breakfast is more cafe style. We had free breakfast with our stay but it was only good on the yoghurt parfait, lol.

Staff were super friendly at check in and they help make recommendations to places to go nearby. This hotel has several cool outlets like the art gallery, wine bar that serves higher end and unique wines, Maison cafe which was warm and welcoming and ultimately Eleve, the rooftop restaurant. Beautiful space with unique bohemian decor. The staff upstairs were also very hospitable. The rooftop is a cool space that has a lot of seating options on the couches and the big day bed! Food and drinks were spectacular and has a nice ambiance at night. They offer HH specials M-F and 2$ oysters! Can't beat that in Charleston! As for my room, it was clean, cool and relaxing. I had an atrium view where you can see into the small art room on the 2nd floor. The gym is quite small but had all I needed for a good work out. They also offer 2 classes here which were the cocktail making class and wine blending class. Both were amazing and taught by very knowledgeable staff! You get an in-house discount for the classes too. The location is amazing because you're in the middle of being able to walk to many popular places, restaurants and shopping. If you don't feel like walking they have bike taxis to take you around. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and this hotel was all around a great experience.

Beautiful hotel with great ambiance and service. The front desk staff is wonderful but the Porters and valet staff were over the top terrific. Charleston is a wonderful short vacation spot for my wife and I. This is one of our go to places for sure.

The hotel is gorgeous. The rooftop wasn't open however the views aren't great the art museum is really cool and the hotel lobby is beautiful

The Grand Bohemian Charleston is a jewel located Downtown on Wentworth St. The building is gorgeous with refined, local artwork displayed all around and even a gallery you can view. On check in we were helped by Noah who was the picture of professionalism and so courteous. Check in was a breeze and we even received complimentary champagne to sip while we got comfy in our room. Our accommodation was also exquisite. A spacious corner room awaited us with a plush bed and lovely lounge chair. The bathroom was lovely too. A toilet completely separate from the shower and the shower was filled with lovely tile. I'm excited to book here again and I will be exploring this hotel even further!

I always enjoy staying at a Grand Bohemian's whenever I can (Asheville being my favorite) because of their unique and eclectic decor. Although I didn't have the pleasure of staying here, I did get a chance to visit the art gallery, and enjoy a cocktail at the rooftop bar. Loved all the beautiful local art displayed throughout the hotel, and I wanted to take all the furniture home!

We had a fantastic stay at the Grand Bohemian. One of the reasons I booked the thing in the first place was because I thought I was getting a really good deal. When I saw the total for the stay at check in, I thought that deal wasn't quite honored but it could just be that I can't do math anymore. The entrance is kinda weird as it is through the valet parking area instead of some grand entrance that would be preferred but no biggie. Immediately upon entering, however, you are greeted by their enchanting lobby. There was no wait to check in and, as par for the course in the south, we were treated very kindly. We actually were offered either water or champagne (is that even a question lmao) which I have never experienced before! We made our way to the room, passing very intriguing and almost assaultive (in a good way) artwork. The room is decently sized. Very much so when you take into account our last hotel stay just before this in NYC. The bathroom is also really big actually, almost as big as our NYC hotel room. Inside the bathroom are separate areas for potty/doodying and a separate area for the shower. Two very comfortable robes were provided. Similarly to the lobby, the room is decorated beautifully. The bedside lights are actually lanterns. Pretty cool. The bed is INCREDIBLE. It's extremely cozy and comfortable. The AC worked pretty well. Housekeeping was provided daily including a turn down service which happened to occur at the most inconvenient times for us at no fault of the hotel. There was one day that we returned at around 1:45pm and our room had not yet been serviced so we skipped it that day. We did run out of TP and no extra roll was provided which wasn't convenient. Just one more thing. The water pressure is pretty much nonexistent. The faucet of the sink is pretty much on the edge of the bowl so anything going underneath it and causing a shift in location of the stream gets it all over the counter. It's a very strange design. The water pressure in the shower isn't great either but otherwise the shower was lovely. Great place. No regrets. I forgot to mention location which is fantastic.

The hotel is very swanky and has an eclectic vibe. Room was very nice and the staff very accommodating. Eleve and the Wine bar are both great compliments to the hotel. Aly, in the wine bar, was amazing and very knowledgeable. We would have rated 5-stars, but had issues with a hotel credit not being applied and had to ask about a gift for our room that was supposed to have been there when we arrived. The hotel very kindly comped the champagne and cheese/fruit plate. However, I feel that a hotel of this status should be able to very easily ensure that these details and transactions are seamless.

Artsy Fartsy! Very eclectic hotel located at the corner of Meeting and Wentworth. This property is nicely located near all the action without being in the noisy action. Easy walking distance to all the shops on King St, the historic district and french quarter as well as to the aquarium should you like to do more of a walk. I don't think they have self-parking. I'm not entirely sure though. We did Valet which was $39/day, so budget accordingly. The valet area is pretty tight, but they are seemed to be super efficient with keeping the area clear and ready. Check-in was a breeze.... again quick and efficient. They offered us a glass of sparkling wine or water. I opted for water since I needed to stay hydrated in the heat and humidity. (I'm not used to the humidity... which I swear had to be near 80% on top of the 80 degree weather.) Downstairs there is an art gallery and wine bar/lounge.... plus an outdoor patio with chandeliers so it's very chic. Upstairs on the top floor (4th floor) is the restaurant, bar and outdoor patio. We spent a fair amount of time at the bar and restaurant. We wanted to take enjoy the outdoor rooftop patio but the weather wasn't cooperating. It was either blistering hot or downpouring rain. Oh well. The inside of the restaurant was very nice... a mix of new and old... funky chic. They had a variety of seating arrangements.... high tops and low tops. Our room was nice .... (nothing particularly special since it was an 'inside room' that looked onto the indoor art gallery.) The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were soft which is always a plus. There isn't a lot of drawer space so that was a bit annoying. No big... I hung up what I could and then lived out of my suitcase for the duration. The bathroom was spacious. The water pressure in the shower was really good. No little piddly stream. I liked the spacious counter in the bathroom but would have liked a double sink feature. There were plenty of towels for the 2 of us, and they refreshed them daily which is always a guilty pleasure. The toiletries were very nice too! I was tempted to bring them home with me. Alas, I don't need more travel size toiletries that I don't use once I get home so I didn't take the extras they provided. Service overall at the property was good - friendly, attentive. Oh! And should you find yourself without an umbrella (um.. that would be me), you can borrow one from the hotel. Thank Goodness!

Beautiful room even though the bathroom sink was clogged. The bed was super comfy. Loved the rooftop restaurant/bar where you had an amazing view of the city. Valet quotes 5 minutes every time which means 20 min real time. Front desk was a little slow. All the artwork was amazing! We will buy a couple pieces and we like Kessler properties! Mis Bonita breakfast server was amazing! So will be back!

I love this hotel! I came here a month ago for one night only while having a quick trip to Charleston. I was greeted upon check in with a glass of champagne. My room (a standard double room) was superb! I lived the artwork on the walls, chartreuse velvet headboards, and thre bathroom. My God, that bathroom! It was spacious and luxurious! The sfaff at the Grand Bohemian were all helpful and friendly. I had drinks in their rooftop bar and ther complimentary continental breakfast at their restaurant (the same rooftop restaurant). They have artwork everywhere in this hotel, including its own arty gallery in the lobby. There is also a wine tasting room in the lobby which was lovely. All these fabulous and luxe features equate to a higher end piece tag but it's worth it to treat yourself aged experience a higher end hotel. The location is also great and is in wanllking distance of King Street. I would definitely stay here again!

Located within the Historic District of Charleston, the Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston offers just about everything one might desire. The location is outstanding and puts one within easy walking distance from the best of Charleston. The hotel bills itself as being a "boutique" hotel and it in fact does in every way live up to that distinction with the most eye appealing modern luxury décor I've ever seen. To my eye the décor richly reeks of style and class. My stay was in what they called their King Room, which only meant that I had a single king bed. There are several just like it, I am sure, but in a way mine was rather kingly with a distinctively nice décor, excellent beddings and a general plushness about it. The Grand Bohemian also has several other pluses such as an excellent French rooftop restaurant and bar which also offers really great views of the Historic District of Charleston. For breakfast, coffee or to get a decent lunch they have their Maison Café. Then there are also truly elegant areas wherein wine tasting held. I found the staff of The Bohemian to be exceptionally well trained, polite and professional, and as such, have no problem recommending The Bohemian.

The hotel is in a great spot. Lots of stuff in waking distance. Things are running limited due to COVID, which is fine. We were made aware of the changes in service and hours upon check in. Hand sanitizer easily accessible all over the hotel. Knocked a star off because we were told last call at the rooftop bar was 1040 pm. We arrived at 1025 (Friday 12/11) and were very rudely told that last call was starting. No problem. Asked to order a dessert to go and was told the kitchen was closed but she (the bartender) would go see if the kitchen could make a dessert. They were able to which was awesome. When she returned from the kitchen, she said absolutely no more food orders. Uh. Ok, I know your kitchen is closed and we just had dinner elsewhere. She just really did not have great customer service skills which is surprising for a Grand Bohemian staff member. And I get it, she was trying to close but she def could have been more pleasant. All the other staff was amazing!

We enjoyed our stay here very much. First of all, every employee we came across was very friendly. The atmosphere is very calming and serene. Soft music plays overhead in the hallways. Beautiful art lines the walls. Our room was large, comfortable and quiet. There's a wine bar in the lobby and a spacious restaurant/bar on the top floor with a lovely outdoor patio. It looks and feels as if no expense was spared to make this a beautiful and welcoming hotel. A wine blending experience is offered at this location and it's informative and loads of fun if you like red wine (or, like me, learning to like it). In addition to enjoying tastings - you'll walk away with a custom bottle of wine you've blended yourself. The location is ideal, so you can park your car and walk to the downtown market, shopping and restaurants. I can see us returning here often, especially when the weather is a bit cooler.

Stayed here for two nights. Beautiful hotel and customer service was great. Beware after they put a hold on your card, they will charge random amounts that don't add up to what you have charged back to your room. We stayed on points so therefore the only thing that should of been charged was valet and restaurant charges. Called the front desk and they could not explain why we were charge over $1300.

Our room was excellent and the place was very clean. Loved the staff all super nice and willing to go out of there way. The grounds were very well maintained except the basketball court. Food was very good too. I would absolutely go back again.

I'm giving this place 4 stars primarily for the ambiance. It's stunning. The decor is contemporary, sophisticated and creative. Its aesthetic is the opposite of the traditional plantation or colonial/Victorian/antebellum style more common in Charleston. It may not suit the taste of first time visitors who are seeking to experience an authentic Charleston experience but if you've frequented the city often, it's an interesting option. They have featured artists works on display throughout all levels of the hotel. Some are for sale, others are owned by the brand. They're all beautiful. Just next to the lobby they have an art gallery you can peruse. We stopped by after closing but I'd definitely return to check out their collection of pieces. They also had Dale chihuly light fixtures throughout which just add to the feel of the place. The upstairs bar was expansive and has 3 distinct seating areas. The bar itself with the high tops is backed by a room divider which cordons off a separate seating area of the restaurant. Also there is an outside seating area which I didn't check out because it was particularly sweltering. I imagine in fall or spring it's probably perfect. Tomato burrata - not the best cheese ever and could've used more balsamic but the basil was freshly picked. They had my hard to find, newfound favorite rose cider bottled in the Hamptons. It is delicious. A bit yuppie but yah know... The restaurant manager approached our table and asked us a quick questionnaire about how we found the location and how our experience was. I guess it somewhat recently opened so they're eager to improve. For how beautiful it was, it certainly wasn't busy. I'd return though. They offer 90 minute wine blending classes for hotel guests in one of the rooms off the main lobby which is a pretty unique offering for Charleston. Also the front lobby attendants gave me stamps for to mail my post cards. So kind and showed me they go the extra mile.

This place is beautiful! Beyond beautiful. Treated myself to a staycation and I'm in love. The rooftop restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious! Order the truffle frites and thank me later The art throughout the hotel is breathtaking. Valet parking available and the beds are so comfy.

Love, love, love this hotel. Almost don't want to share. I've stayed in it twice now and it's become my spot when I am in Charleston. It's not too big and not too small, if it had a pool I might never leave. The rooms are built around a three story glass atrium with an art gallery, so you may get an indoor view, but the beds, the decor and the big shower are fabulous. Marble bathrooms with a little Snow White goes to the city sort of style. It's a bit artsy and somehow still romantic and fresh. The lobby is gorgeous and they have the option of a small wine bar, a takeout cafe/store with outdoor tables on the street and a full service restaurant with a rooftop/outdoor lounge attached. The lounge is fab at night with an outdoor fireplace. The vibe was cool, super chill and buzzy social. It's Charleston, so people were looking uptown classy and the drink menu was awesome. I enjoyed myself up there and wished that I had come earlier so I could have snagged one of the double sun chaises. Not sure how a woman would get out of it in a short dress without doing an unsexy dive roll though. The breakfast is big, and high quality and the price is fair, since you can easily skip lunch if you eat up there. I haven't tried room service, but why would you when you can get a view of the city with your meal? The art is contemporary with a pop of magical realism and it makes the hotel feel more like a private villa in Italy than a hotel. The staff is on it and I never have to wait for my car or anything really. There are larger hotels and probably more famous ones, but this one is my super-secret, ninja hideout. I almost forgot. They offer yoga classes upstairs in the morning if you need the exercise, but I walk so much when I'm there I usually pass on that and go straight for breakfast before heading out to Sullivan's Island for a morning stroll on the beach. Go for a couple's weekend or treat yourself for a night away, where all the "good" spots on King Street are walking distance, then head upstairs for a nightcap. Sweet dreams and lucky you!

The rooftop restaurant was absolutely amazing! We did brunch. I did not know until just now this is a marriott/bonvoy prop. As a bonvoy ambassador, i am super impressed. The banana caramel pancakes are better than i couldve expected. Blueberry ramble cocktail was really flavorful. The art gallery is cool too....picked up a couple pieces and learned about an artist i really enjoy.

The first part of this is a mid-stay review,so I will update it in a couple of days before checking out. You will see the new portion below under UPDTATE The Grand Bohemian is new, built from scratch about 15 months ago. That is one of the good things, everything about it seems fresh and crisp. And for those who are familiar with the Kessler chain of hotels, now under Marriott's Autograph brand, the Grand Bohemian fits the bill very nicely. It has a quasi-hip, funky and offbeat character focused on art, that feels at once upscale and eclectic. The open spaces around the lobby are super and you know once you arrive that everything here is super clean and maintained very well. It also, for a place that is striving hard to be different, is a little antiseptic. There is no soul here. You can't create that simply with fabulous furniture, it has to be with the people at the hotel - both guests and staff - and somehow that magic quotient is missing here. Anyone who has been to a successful boutique eclectic hotel, such as the Raleigh or Delano in South Beach, or the Mondrian or SLS in Los Angeles, know the difference of a hotel that works organically versus one that has the look but not the real deal. The Eleve Bar off the lobby is a cozy room with a communal table that encourages some good mixing. The one downside was that the night we arrived they were hosting a special wine and cheese reception for Marriott Rewards members. That's us, but there were a few people there with a total of 5 pet dogs, two of them barking. That pretty much destroyed any desire to relax at the bar. I understand places nowadays like to be dog friendly, but this made it uncomfortable for the rest of us. The bellmen who greeted us were super friendly, and also helpful later in some suggestions for local dining. The reception desk had only one person checking in a small line, so we had to wait. It all turned out to be efficient once we got to check in and the process was simple. We weren't told that the room we were getting was handicap accessible or that the 'historic view' it promised was on to a parking lot on the side street. And we weren't give any introduction about the hotel or where he dining and fitness spots were. That is why this hotel is only getting 3 stars midway through the stay. The room we got was a King as promised, but it has its shortcomings. As mentioned, the 'historic view' is literally only to a side street and a large office styled building and its parking lot. We now know that 'historic view' simply means a view to the street, there are evidently some interior rooms as well. The closet is not very good if you are making a longer trip, it is narrow, and there is only one half of it on which you can hang clothes. The top rack is very short and you can't put much on it without it getting wrinkled. Nowhere to put a coat. There is no desk for doing any work, so this is clearly catering to a casual tourist not a business traveler. Pluses are that the room does have great and many USB and electrical outlets, as well as a coffee maker and small fridge. But on the downside there are only 2 drawers in the entire room for clothes. So again, strong on style, not so great on function. WiFi is free. Great. But super slow. Not so great. For such a new hotel, a small thing that seems a bit of a throwback to an old day to have paper 'do not disturb' signs that hang on the outside door handle. Those get lost, crunched over time, sometimes taken by a prankster, and all in all it would seem there are far sleeker ways electronically to display when it is time for privacy or room service. Last thing. Large bathroom, that is great. Downside is the shower, which turns out to be with a handle only. It is a pain and really quite inconvenient to shower like this. When we checked this morning with the front desk, that is because we were given an ADA room. That is why it would have been great if Amy, who checked us in, had given us a heads up. Karin, at the desk in the morning, told us the hotel was full and she would look for a different room but couldn't promise. We passed, we'd rather get out and enjoy Charleston than spend part of the day moving all our stuff on an extended trip. So I want to like this hotel a lot. It's location and style is great. It's rooms are OK. It's just falling short a little to really shine. UPDATE I'm checking out after 3 nights here. Some of the pluses and minuses have become clearer during my stay. PROS: - the bar off the lobby, with a wine dispensing system for tastings, and Sarah, the sommelier, was super friendly and knowledgeable. - the casual restaurant, Maison Cafe, is very well priced for a hotel for breakfast CONS: - WiFi got worse over the stay, the server often refusing to work - water pressure in the shower is real weak

Wow, this place is cool. I went down here for a offsite work meeting and found the hotel to be amazingly nice and interesting. It was also EMPTY. I was told its "new" so perhaps the word is just getting out. The aesthetic is super cool, theres a whole art gallery next to the lobby and then the meeting spaces were really nice. There is also a restaurant and rooftop bar on the top floor. If you are staying in Charleston, I'd definitely give this a look.

This is a gorgeous hotel in a great location. The staff are all extremely nice, it was a wonderful decor, and actually recognized my premier status with a nice room upgrade! The workout room had a nice pulley set of weights which is bigger than most places. I loved the breakfast sandwhiches too! Overall great stay. Love the autograph hotels!

We needed a break and stopped in when we saw they had a roof top bar and so glad we did. The entrance was very inviting and all the decor, furnishings and artwork were really well put together. The roof top bar had great views and was fun and contemporary. Love the drinks and company. I would love to try and stay here the next time I'm in Charleston

We were told by several friends not to bother with trying their rooftop bar. Our friends said they measure their pours and don't have good customer service, two no no's in Charleston. However, it was a gorgeous Sunday and when my bf got off work, we wanted to have a drink in a nice, outdoor atmosphere. Having loved the Bohemian in Savannah, we opted to give this one a try. First negative is that they don't have a server outside. Really? On a beautiful Sunday? We had to order our drinks at the bar inside and carry them outside...Right then, we knew we would only be having one round. The outside was fairly crowded but we found a small sofa to sit. Since we heard they were stingy on the cocktail pours, we ordered champagne. They had one of my favorites so that was a positive. After enjoying the sun and our drinks, I couldn't help but notice that no one came out to clear glasses! As people left, there were plenty of empty seats but the tables were overflowing with dirty glasses and bottles. Having worked in hospitality my entire life, this is a big no no. No one wants to sip a $15 cocktail surrounded by filth! I took pictures of the overflowing glasses. When we went in to pay, they had overcharged us by $2 per glass. That was another negative. Luckily, there are several other rooftop bars in the area. We won't be back.

Thank you everyone for a fantastic stay in Charleston with my parents. We arrived at the hotel and were greeted immediately by Winnie and Ms. Kelly. Winnie was so helpful and friendly. My parents were arriving later than us so Winnie was extremely helpful in preparing everything they needed when they arrived. She even took my cell phone number to let me know when they checked in so my husband and I could grab a bite to eat. Every interaction we had with the two ladies at the front desk was fantastic- First class. I also want to thank all of the employees at the restaurant upstairs. Alli, Cody, Scott and Jordan were all awesome. We realize things have been tough because of businesses being understaff but they were phenomenal. It is SO nice to go up to a bar and they remember what you had to drink the night before. Thank you, Again!!

1. I had a reservation for Friday night under my name and we had another reservation for Sat night under my friends name. We asked to stay in the same room upon check in and they said that shouldn't be a problem. The next day they made us move rooms to a king bed for 3 girls. After going up to the new room, I called back down and told the front desk about the conversation I had had the day prior with the front desk agent. She called back a few minutes later and and said they'd get us another room and move our bags for us. We found out they were moving us back to the same room we just came from. When we got to our old room later, our bags hadn't been moved back to our room and the room was half cleaned but they left all the pillows on one bed without cases on them and at the foot of the bed. We called again and they took care of it and sent house keeping back. 2. Part of the reason I chose this hotel was for the rooftop bar. It was was closed to guests both nights for private events. I would just expect for $600 a night and being a SPG member, that you would have awesome service. I am a bit disappointed for the price and not sure if I'd stay here again.

Wow I expected so much better from a Marriott signature property. Came for a work event. The service is great. But overall, my room absolutely smelled like wet dog. I asked if people could bring in their dogs and of course yes...well I figured because the place was super stinky. Bed was ok. Decor was bizarre. There are some a super creepy pictures in the room I couldn't get past. Check it out-I took a picture to show my family. Everytime I moved her eyes followed me. This lady and allowing dogs needs to go! Otherwise, the restaurant is ok, the decor is totally weird but I got over it, location is fantastic.

My husband and I loved this hotel. The hotel is beautiful with all types of art and includes two galleries (on the first floor and the second floor). Our room was a good size and was always ready when we came back at the end of a long day. Unlike other reviews, we had no problems with WiFi or water pressure. It was the people, though, that made this place one of the best places we've ever stayed. Our room wasn't ready when we checked in, so we went to the rooftop bar for a drink. Michael, the bartender, gave us all kinds of tips on visiting Charleston until David, from the front desk, came upstairs to find us and give us our keys. The sommelier, Peter, led a wine blending class the we attended. He was a riot, and explained the four varieties that we sampled and were then able to blend to our taste. We now each have a bottle of our blend. We ate breakfast every day in the rooftop restaurant. Emily and Stephanie took great care of us and had welcomed advice about where to go in Charleston and the surrounding islands. We looked forward to seeing them every day! Is the art to everyone's taste? Probably not, but that's art. The room was beautiful and the staff fantastic, which is what I look for in a great hotel.

The Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston is an awesome hotel and space in Charleston. I really like the vibe and ambience of the hotel. Having the art everywhere really adds to the experience. Helpful staff and overall great hotel. Enjoy being able to visit each time. Memorable place.

I am a frequent traveler to Charleston and this is my first stay at this hotel. (I'd visited the rooftop bar on a previous visit shortly after the hotel opened and the service was non-existent. I'm hoping that's improved but I didn't check it out on this trip.) My room was comfortable, well furnished, and suited my needs fine. I stayed in an atrium view room which is a little odd in that you do overlook a very small atrium so there is natural light, but the "view" is interior and there are other hotel rooms directly across from you that you can see right into. My room must have been under the restaurant or bar because I heard chairs constantly being dragged on the floor ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Until well after midnight. Annoying is an understatement. And the paintings in the room are incredibly creepy and unsettling. Like I need to wake up to that every morning. All in all, this is a pleasant boutique hotel in a great location; walking distance to all the downtown shopping and unbelievably delicious food offerings. However, they could definitely improve in some areas.

We enjoyed our three night stay here for a variety of reasons. The bed was super comfortable, I liked the funky decor and there is a wine bar on the first floor as well as an art gallery. Service was excellent at every turn at the hotel. People we encountered remembered our names or that we were from California and always had a smile for you. They offered turn down service nightly and the room was super clean. The bathroom is spacious although the lighting isn't ideal. The location is great for walking around the city too. The hotel has rooftop bar that appears to be popular with locals and tourists alike. This is only on the 4th floor- tall buildings are not a thing here. They have a nice cafe which was perfect for morning coffee/ breakfast or lunch. I feel like you can't go wrong if you stay here, I highly recommend it.

Fun creative place to be... nothing dull to be sure. Stimulating for a energy driven trip... not where I'd choose for a relaxing, sedate getaway. Great staff! Bought a ton in the art gallery. Check it out!

I take no pleasure in writing such a negative review for one of my favorite hotel brands, but I don't think I'll say anything surprising or that hasn't been mentioned in other reviews for this Bohemian. I've stayed at Bohemian's in both Asheville and Savannah and consider those properties among the best anywhere. I will return to those hotels and have, and will continue, to recommend them to anyone visiting those great cities. Unfortunately the Charleston location is severely lacking in multiple areas: - Nobody working the valet desk when we arrived. Had to wait for a good 10-15 minutes for anyone to show up to take the car. - Nobody will ever open a door for you in this hotel. Even when transporting bags, the employees just talk among themselves or ignore you all together. - Check in was less than welcoming. No details on wifi were provided (I had to get those later). No offer for maps of the city, dining recommendations, etc. We were the only people checking in at the time, so it's not like they were busy. - Rooftop bar. This is where it gets very bad. Inside service is good, not great. Outside service is nonexistent if you are lucky. If you are unfortunate enough to get the girl working the outside patio to take your order (which is very unlikely), you will be met with outright disdain and scorn. She made it very clear by her body language and lack of any verbal communication whatsoever, that we were not welcome and were inconveniencing her. She just looked at us for our order, then left without acknowledging having taken the order. In my experience, this kind of culture comes from the top down and I would encourage Marriott to take a hard look at hotel management. - No AM coffee, newspapers, anything available. The Renaissance across the street where our friends stayed for hundreds of dollars per night less, had free breakfast and coffee, a much bigger room, a happy hour with free beer and wine, free bike rental, and just an overall better vibe (albeit a low bar to exceed). - On our second day, we left the hotel at 10:30 and were gone until 2:30. Our room was never made up during that time. No towels, toilet paper, bed service, nothing. No attempt was made to rectify. - Not sure what pillows are used here, but they are flat and hot. Not a restful sleep. - Price. We paid $600 per night for a bad experience. I won't return to this Bohemian. We had dined at the Peninsula Grill down the street in Planters Inn on Sat and were greeted by doormen who welcomed us, a bartender who happily made drinks. When one drink spilled a bit, he quickly offered to refill it at no charge. Planters felt like a well run hotel and we regretted having to return to the Bohemian.

This hotel is cool. The decor is interesting and vibrant. The room was a nice size. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in. Seriously my last thought before falling asleep was "I'm in clouds." The music playing in the room was chill. The ambiance is five stars. The fact that I gave it four stars is two fold: - there were no bath towels in the room. It's not a huge deal except when you've checked in at 4am and come out of the shower soaking wet and have to dry off with hand towels, it stays with you. - the hotel set up is strange in that our window opens into an inside atrium that faces other rooms. There are of course good shades to block out the view. All in all, the artsy bohemian vibe is something to be experienced.

This hotel was everything I expected and more! Our room was so spacious and so chic. The bed was so comfy and I slept like a queen! We ate dinner here the first night at eleve and the service was on point! Our server Bill was so knowledgeable of the menu and he anticipated all of our needs. Special shout out to our bartender Sean for the best espresso martinis I've ever had! Great experience all around and will definitely stay here again! If you're looking for THE hotel and restaurant/bar in Charleston, this is the spot!

our boss chose a great location for our Christmas party. the wait staff was amazing and we shared pieces of each other's meals which makes me able to tell you that there is nothing you can order that you will not love. I do hope we chose this for next year's party!

We make an annual trip to Charleston and the key to a great weekend is fantastic accommodations and The Grand Bohemian is on point. As Mr Kessler says, they are not just a hotel, they are an experience. The definitely get it right and mix in a very unique experience for their clients.

Hotel Review: we used our points to stay here and thank god we did because this is not worth the money. They try to distract you with faux glitch and glam but the truth is the things that matter are sub par. The quality of products in the room from the toilet paper to the robes just have a cheap feel to them. This is not a high quality hotel. It only appears so from first glance. I would stay at a Courtyard over this any day.

Love the location and service. I love the neo-Victorian decor; not my style, but opulent. Grand view from the rooftop lounge - very expensive wine and appetizers, but lovely to savor.

Gorgeous boutique hotel situated in a great location within walking distance to everything. The Grand Bohemian Charleston provides great ambiance, beautiful decor, and phenomenal top notch service. Came to Charleston for a girls weekend and we all were impressed from the moment we arrived... Amy N. at the front desk was so warm and friendly upon check in and her kindness and attention to detail took us by surprise. She mentioned to us of the long wait at local restaurants and recommended we make dinner reservations during our trip. We thanked her and went up to our fabulously decorated room. 15 minutes after we were settled in Amy called and politely lets us know she made reservations for us at a highly rated local restaurant because she wanted to make sure we didn't have to wait in line. She also offered to make reservations for us at other restaurants if we wanted to try something different. We have traveled enough to know the difference between good service and stellar service. If possible, we would give her 10 stars. My cousin was making light conversation with Kelly S. at the front desk. A casual conversation leads to Kelly offering apples to my cousin for all of us to keep on hand to make sure we have something to snack on. Super nice touch. Throughout our 4 night stay, Kelly was wonderful every single time we ran into her. She always asked how we were doing and genuinely wanted to make sure we were well taken care of. Taylor the young gentleman at the front desk topped off our last night with his kindness. I went down to ask him a general question about the candles they were selling and I was so impressed with his level of professionalism along with the way he went above and beyond from the candle to making sure there wasn't anything else we might need to ensure a comfortable stay on our last night. After all of these amazing experiences with the Front Desk staff, we had meet their manager. It all became clear to us the moment we met Robyn H. She is just as lovely as every single one of her team members. Robyn was so gracious when she met with us and even later that day when we ran into her at the restaurant, she brought the General Manager over for an introduction. Extra shout out to Mary at Maison Cafe, Lois at Front Desk, and the Housekeeping staff for keeping our rooms so wonderfully clean. All of them were super friendly and very accommodating. Everything about this hotel was fabulous from the location to the decor and their wonderful art gallery. What makes this place extra sweet is the exceptional service provided by their staff. Their level of professionalism and attention to detail truly stands out and this is what will bring us back for a future stay. I highly recommend this place if you want to experience southern hospitality at its very best! Thank you Kessler Collection and Marriott for providing such a wonderful place for us to call home on our trip!

Gorgeous facility with unique character. From the second I stepped foot out of my car it was lovely. Randy helped take my car, and later when I forgot something he walked me four whole blocks at night to my vehicle. I was greeted with cold champagne and smiles. Truly a restful experience amid my crazy business trip! I probably found my official work hotel in this city.

I would not stay here again. The hotel is pretty, but our room had no closet or dresser for us to put our clothes in. There was also no iron in the room to iron the clothes that were wrinkled from staying in our suitcases. The only option for parking is is valet service, and when the valet brought our rental car to us upon checking out, the tire was flat. It was fine when we arrived. The valets were apologetic but didn't offer much except to help put the spare on (but the manager later told them they couldn't). We had our puppy with us so we asked to be let back into our room so he could be comfortable until my husband could go back to the rental company (at the airport) to exchange the car for another one. They told us we could be let back in, but "only until noon". The management clearly did not care whatsoever about our experience. We've had much better service at much less expensive hotels. P.S. the elevators were out of service on our second day. I heard a guest tell the front desk it wasn't working and then a few minutes later a sign was up saying they were undergoing "regularly scheduled maintenance." Save your $500 and stay somewhere else.

The staff makes this place from the valet to the front desk and management. The place is unusual in its abundance of art work some you will like others not so much. I had a scowling woman in my room and a yellow flocked headboard. The roof bar is great in sunny weather and the wine bar off the lobby along with a Starbucks have the bases covered. The location is perfect for exploring the city.

Great Hotel! I have been staying here for years with family. Awesome service/staff, location, rooms, food, drinks and rooftop bar. Highly recommend.

Surprisingly delicious. The only negative was the lavender gin drink i had. It is restaurant week but we wanted to order from the menu but wanted an app from the restaurant week menu. OMG! So glad they let us. The smoked grouper app was to die for. I had scallops which were cooked to perfection with a fab piquillo pepper sauce, yummy. My BF had the steak with potatoes and chimmichurri sauce. He said it was almost as good as Halls (sorry bohemian-they r hard to beat). The cheesecake was delish but we certainly didnt need it. The atmosphere is somewhat cold but the bartenders were very friendly. The devor is amazing. Go check it out!

I am so excited to come and stay here. I love the boutique feel of their line of hotels. I was incredibly disappointed with the service from beginning to end. When we arrived, it was late at night and we tried to go to bed around 1115 but there was some party going on overtop of our room and it sounded like someone was dragging furniture. Come to find out they were having a private event and we were just underneath the restaurant. Not good. We had to endure. The second day our room wasn't serviced at all and when we called down to let them know they let us know they were "shorthanded". Very unprofessional for a hotel of this caliber. We went to the restaurant to have breakfast and it literally took 35 minutes for our bacon and eggs to,. My son got an omelette and had mushrooms and ham in it which he did not order. We went down to the café to get a muffin and asked what kind of muffin it was and they let us know that they had no idea. The following morning we woke up and walked out of the room and the place smelled absolutely horrible, like there was a sewer line that had backed up. The people who were in the hallways cleaning let us know that there was a dog that had had an accident. It must've been one massive dog is all I can say. The saddest part of all is when we let the manager know this morning he looked like he was in space. It would've been really great if he apologized or took steps to provide quality service. That didn't happen. The reason that I gave this hotel to stars is because the Decour is beautiful. If the service batch the Decour it would've easily been five stars. Stay at the Belmond if you want service.

*This review is for everything but staying in the rooms; we had a cocktail reception downstairs in the outdoor patio space entrance, a private dinner in the upstairs room/outdoor patio and late night drinks in the main inside space. Overall, this was one of the nicer venues I visited while I was here which is why we came here 3 straight nights :) It is ideal for great rooftop action on a nice day/evening to enjoy the outdoor space and view of the city. It is also good for some indoor entertainment throughout the evening where they had live music going to please your eardrums. Overall, the food menu was good (it was a private event which may be different than regular menu) but everything we ate was fresh and enjoyable. I would recommend popping in here if you are looking for a nicer venue or casual evening on the roof. Enjoy.

Great if you like super slow service and skimpy pours. Took 20 min to pour a beer and two really small glasses of wine. Since I don't like ripoffs, I won't be back.

For the rooftop bar!! We didn't stay at the hotel but grabbed a pre-dinner drink, and we're thrilled to find the little gem of a rooftop bar & restaurant! Very Grand Bohemian vibe to the decor, slightly Allison in Wonderland-ish which at sunset was just the perfect setting for a group or date!
